The Risks of Asbestos Exposure

Exposure to asbestos fibers can cause several fatal respiratory diseases, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Asbestos fibers can become airborne when asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, releasing hazardous particles into the air.

Breathing in these particles can lead to scarring and inflammation of the lungs, which can cause severe respiratory problems. The risk of developing asbestos-related diseases increases the more you are exposed to asbestos and over time.

Products Containing Asbestos

Asbestos was widely used in building materials up until the 1980s. Many older properties may contain asbestos-containing materials, which can become hazardous when disturbed. The following are some common products that may contain asbestos:

• Asbestos cement sheets
• Asbestos pipe insulation
• Asbestos thermal insulation
• Asbestos flooring tiles
• Asbestos roofing shingles

If you are unsure whether your property contains asbestos, it's important to hire a licensed asbestos removal company to perform an inspection.
